What is superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES)?

SMEs, superconducting magnetic energy storage. SMES devices fill a niche market where high currents and high powers are required for relatively short amounts of time. The cost of SMES is dependent on many things and is modest when compared to that of pumped hydro, for example. Generally speaking though the cost is reduced with scale as seen in

Can superconducting magnetic energy storage technology reduce energy waste?

It’s found that SMES has been put in use in many fields, such as thermal power generation and power grid. SMES can reduce much waste of power in the energy system. The article analyses superconducting magnetic energy storage technology and gives directions for future study. 1. Introduction

What is superconducting magnet?

Superconducting Magnet while applied as an Energy Storage System (ESS) shows dynamic and efficient characteristic in rapid bidirectional transfer of electrical power with grid. The diverse applications of ESS need a range of superconducting coil capacities.

What is a medium temperature superconductor (MTS)?

As the critical temperature of MgB2 is 20 K (in between HTS, 77–90 K and LTS, 4.2 K) it can be treated as Medium Temperature Superconductor (MTS). After selecting the HTS tape, the arrangement of coil should be selected depending on the rating of the proposed SMES. The most common arrangements of superconducting coil are solenoid and toroid.

What is a superconducting coil?

Superconducting coil is the heart of SMES. Electrically it is a pure inductor (no internal resistance) and DC current can flow through it without any ohmic (I2 R) loss. As a result, superconducting coil can persist current or energy (1/2 LI 2) for years with energy density as high as 100 MJ/m3.

Is SMEs a good energy storage technology?

The high energy requirements of cooling systems and the carbon emissions they generate mean that SMES is not a fully environmental-friendly energy storage technology. The strong magnetic field is likely to threaten people's health.
